Dek, yeah, had a look at the Alum Rock/Saltley thread. Interesting as I caught the 14 bus (or 55/56) back from town. I lived at the bottom of Stechford Lane (corner near Burney Lane) so there are several photo's of places I remember, albeit later.
Pud, I see where Addison Road is (through Google). I assume it was always residential as many of the pics here are of shops on the main roads, the nearest being Cook St and Eliot St. My Nan went to Eliot St senior school (left in 1937 at 14). I have a couple of photographs taken at the back of the house. I'll have to scan them!
